Drawing on the theme of children's fun in winter. Creating an illustration for the “Winter Fun” competition

We continue the topic “ Let's draw winter fun children».

What winter fun do we know? - I ask the students. The people, crowded into their desks, are trying to remember something on the topic.

What I like most is watching children just playing around in the snow. Without any sleds or shovels. They simply throw the crumbling snow, jump into the snowdrifts, and then, lying on their backs, kick their legs to shake the snow out of their felt boots or just for the pleasure of lying in the snow. You can also lie on your back, clap your hands to the sides and this will create an imprint like wings.

When I tell this, the students’ eyes begin to sparkle, and no wonder, sit in class for six lessons.

So the idea of ​​a child lying down to play in the snow is great, but, alas, very difficult to implement.

In general, it is very difficult to draw a lying figure of a person (either on his side or on his back), I assure you. And what if from a perspective, but taking into account the perspective... And if not from a perspective and without perspective? - But no, it simply won’t work. My students smile and draw a picture like this:

But you are depicting a top view,” I say, “if you insert this figure into the picture, you will get the clear impression that the child is simply standing on one leg. We need to draw a lying person from a USUAL point of view.

Anyway, let's draw. I found a photo on the Internet - a child lies in the snow with his feet towards us and his head diagonally into the distance.

From the perspective it looks like the feet are on foreground They look large and the legs themselves are long. The head is relatively small. Arms spread to the sides look completely shortened. By the way, I’ll also note that the complexity and strangeness of the appearance of the figure lying in the snow is also given by the snow itself - the body is partially immersed in it. This also needs to be taken into account.

We have drawn up a diagram of the figure, now we are clarifying the details. The leg, presented directly at the viewer, looks thick and is greatly reduced. The second one looks much thinner, and even the snow is almost knee-deep))). The body is quite massive, and the arms are small and thin in perspective.

Well, what can I say? You need to draw such scenes from life. But sitting at your desk, you can’t model it in your mind - that’s what I’m answering.

It's winter - drawing the theme is all about winter sport yes about New Year. Of course, many winter-themed drawing competitions have been announced.

If you read school programs according to the “iso” of the seventies of the last century, it’s all there: “May Day demonstration”, “Demonstration on November 7”, “Subbotnik”... It’s somehow even wild to remember. You read and think: what forcedly patriotic themes there used to be, at least nowadays children are not tormented by this.

However, current topics, in essence, differ little from those - they are just as imposed, invented by adults and have the same artificially invigorating flavor. The theme “Winter fun for children” is no exception. Neither kindergarteners nor schoolchildren themselves would think of capturing their impressions of winter games on paper. I say this to prevent pink bubbles and exclamations of affection about the fact that cute babies love to draw winter so much! Yes, they do, if you put a lot of pressure and force them.

But - closer to the point. We, teachers, NEED to participate in competitions. There is a problem - we need to solve it. Children practically cannot draw a human figure in motion and have no observation experience. I myself also don’t have much of this experience of observing children playing. I can draw winter fun from my imagination, but it will be artificial. Because you have to draw from life! However, I don’t feel comfortable going to the playground with an easel in winter. Then - according to the photograph. This was not the case - neither adults nor children are eager to get into the lens of a stranger. So, we are looking for photos on the Internet.

Here's a great picture: a girl swings hard and is about to throw a snowball. It's clear she's posing. But even such a staged pose is incomparably better than the legions of little men in caps with pom-poms playing snowballs at attention in ordinary children's drawings.

Let's draw. You have to start with... what?

JUST NOT WITH THE DETAILS!

We start with a diagram to understand the pose and proportions of the figure. The body is tilted and slightly thrown back. Snowball in right hand. This is important because children, without thinking, draw snow fights, a right-handed team against a left-handed team, just to make it easier to draw. But you need to depict how comfortable it is to PLAY!

Let's continue. The arm with the snowball is bent at the elbow, the snowball is slightly tucked behind the head. The girl holds it at face level. The second hand is dramatically thrown forward - for balance. Feet are spaced approximately shoulder width apart. The supporting one is the right one, the weight will be transferred to the left after the throw, but now it is freely placed forward.

The girl is still small, her body proportions are childish - a relatively large body, arms and legs are still quite short, her head is large, her face is turned in the direction where the girl is aiming. Yes, this is also important - the direction of your gaze and the turn of your face, please, just don’t look into the camera!

Let's draw a diagram of this movement, front view and back view.

Note that this is not easy mirror reflection. The figure, with its back turned to the viewer, also swings its right hand.

..................................................................................................................................

Well, and another picture - teenagers playing in the snow.

Here the movements are much more complex and there are more dynamics. Look, the picture is useful for understanding that when playing snowballs, people bend over to collect the snow and avoid being hit by snowballs.

It’s worth saying that I don’t get to take part in competitions very often, because... I am either busy on the dates when the competition is held, or I am not satisfied with the criteria for selecting the winners (for example, voting is carried out in contact by the largest number likes, which are now easy to generate and get the required number). This time it so happened that the timing was good, right on new year holidays, and the selection of works was carried out by an independent jury. For this, of course, I would like to say a special thank you to the organizers of the competition.

I found out about the competition by chance when I went to the store’s website looking for paper for pastels. I was immediately interested in the idea of ​​the competition - to create my own unique story on the theme of winter festivities, sports, and games. I immediately discarded the option of copying, because... All works were checked for uniqueness. According to one of the criteria, you also had to place the name of the store’s website on your work.

In general, I got excited about the idea of ​​​​participating and began to look through what kind of games and festivities happen in winter. Having compiled preliminary list various types sports and games, for several days I was thinking about what to choose from the list so that the idea would not be boring. And in the end I settled on the option of playing snowballs and skiing. And to make it completely New Year’s, I decided to add a team of snowmen to the picture. The following idea was formed - in winter forest Skiing competitions are held where children and snowmen participate. But these competitions are not enough for the teams. Right on the ski slope, several snowmen and children were having a snowball fight, and they were about to hit the skiers passing by.

The final version of the idea took shape on my last working day in 2015, December 25th. Arriving home, I very quickly, while all the images were fresh, sketched out the main idea, the location of characters and objects in a sketchbook:

As you can see, this is literally a two-three minute quick sketch with chaotic lines expressing the general idea. Why I arranged the characters and details in this way, I will tell/show you at the end of the article.

One of the next days off, I started making a more detailed sketch on A4 format with more detailed characters. In doing so, I decided to move the birds from the tree on the left to the greeting banner at the top:

When I was satisfied with the placement of objects and characters, I took A3 paper to create an even more detailed sketch, which will serve as a reference for me when I draw on A3 pastel paper:

I no longer placed birds and inscriptions here, only the location of the main objects and details on the characters.

The next step was to draw a sketch (the ability to copy or sketch came in handy here) onto the final sheet of Canson pastel paper, on which I planned to carry out the rest creative activity. Moreover, on this sheet I made all the lines with a simple pencil very thin and before putting the pastel on, I removed additional graphite from the paper with a mark, brightening the lines to the maximum.

I started working in pastels by drawing the sky and the background of the trees. Everything here is the same as in an ordinary landscape, the main thing to remember is. In large spaces I used different brands of dry pastels. The details were drawn with Derwent pastel pencils. The bright white areas were done with MUNGYO extra soft pastels:

By the way, in the final sketch I decided that the crow, who stole the carrot nose from the snowman, would sit on a branch with open wings, adding more movement to the picture - a snowman without a nose jumps to get the carrot, the crow teases him and evades him, flapping his wings. Here I carefully drew the letters on all the banners using a ruler, again trying to comply with the laws of perspective.

Having completed drawing the long-range plan, I began to work on the children. And this turned out to be the most difficult moment in the film for me. I had never drawn children before. Well, somehow it wasn’t necessary at all. And even more so their faces with emotions. Here it was necessary to draw at least 3 children's faces. I tried to Google a little, but I couldn’t find any children’s faces that matched the image in my head. I had to practice on a separate sheet of paper. The first "victim" was the girl on the left. I drew 5 or 6 girl faces on a separate sheet of paper, but they all turned out pretty scary. The last option was more or less, and I decided to reproduce it in the final version. Having completed the face, I completed the hat, hair, coat and boots. He walked away a little from the painting, was once again horrified at how scary the girl turned out, and having removed her face, wiping the pastel clean down to paper, he went to bed.

The next day, for some reason all the problems disappeared as if by hand. I have noticed more than once that if something doesn’t work out very well, you need to sleep with it and everything will work out tomorrow. As a result, the faces turned out to be more or less good-natured :-)

And a close-up:

From above, fans are watching the snowball fights, actively supporting the teams with their chirps:

And in the distance the competition participants are already visible! By the way, the inscription “Hello to the Competition Participants” refers not only to the characters in the film, but also to the participants in the “Winter Fun” competition:

The final step was to draw a team of snowmen. This turned out to be a fairly simple task, because... The shape of the snowman is made of simple balls, so distributing light and shadow was easy. Close-up this area:

Well, here is the final illustration for the “Winter Fun” competition, which received 1st place:

As I promised at the beginning of the article, I show why this particular composition of characters and elements in the illustration was chosen:

If anyone hasn’t guessed yet, the red line shows the approximate route of attention. Moreover, the trajectory works in both directions. Wherever the eye passes, blocking elements (trees, an overhead banner, a jumping snowman) block it from leaving the picture and direct it further around the circle, keeping attention inside the picture.

I hope you found this story helpful. Be sure to participate in competitions if free time allows. In my opinion, this is a good opportunity to try something new and find out what capabilities you have! Well, I’m already impatiently waiting for the prize - a wooden case with extra soft MUNGYO pastels of 160 colors.

By the way, I recommend you the Etudesite online store for shopping art materials. I chose this store a long time ago, because... they have some of the lowest prices, a good choice, and there is also the opportunity to purchase materials individually, for example, pastels. The latter is very convenient. For example, not long ago I ordered extra soft MUNGYO pastels from them individually. The parcel arrived literally in a week! The pastels were carefully placed in foam packages of several bars. Everything arrived safe and sound.

Well, that's all for me. Don't forget to leave comments and share the article with your friends.
